How you say it matters | Luke Steinhauer | TEDxCUNY

Your voice is the most powerful instrument you own. Yet, most of us have never been taught how to use it effectively. In this thought-provoking and engaging TEDx Talk, Luke Steinhauer, a voice and communications expert, shares the transformative power of vocal control for strategic and effective communication. From pitch and loudness to clarity, rate, and diction, Luke introduces four simple yet impactful vocal skills that can help anyone—teachers, executives, performers, or everyday speakers—engage, excite, empathize, and entice their audience. Luke bridges the gap between traditional voice training and real-world communication.
